It was a very poor start for Do No Harm. While the premiere did a bit better than the episode of The Firm that aired in this timeslot a year earlier, that’s little consolation. This season, Rock Center with Brian Williams has been airing Thursdays at 10pm and has consistently been one of NBC’s weakest performers in primeteime. In its first showing, Do No Harm nearly matched Rock Center’s series low record. Not good.

What do you think? Do you like the Do No Harm TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?

I liked the show. I dont feel they really gave it a shot. they didnt advertise it enough. I found it on, on damand, watched 3 episodes then found out that they already canceled it. I’ve been watching it on Saturday nights and its gotton really good I hate to see it go.

I’ve been looking forward to the premiere since I first saw the commercial for it. Alright, the pilot was a little disappointing but not enough for it to be canceled! I loved the second episode and had already started calling it my new show, seeing as my last one just ended.
